Emergency Restoration
When plant is down, the call gets answered and the right truck shows up with the right tooling.
Downed Span, Restoration SequenceElevation, Not to Scale
1. Damage
Span down across the roadway.
Sequence
Damage
Storm damage, downed spans, broken poles and failed attachments. Vehicle strikes on poles and guys.
Make Safe
Damaged and hazardous spans made safe first, coordinated with the pole owner and utility crews on site.
Repair
Same-day aerial work on service-affecting outages. Strand, facility and hardware replaced to specification the first time. No temporary, no second trip.
Available for Call-Out, Nights, Weekends and Storm Response.
Repaired right the first time. No temporary, no second trip.

Pole Transfers
A pole can’t be pulled until every attacher has moved. The last attacher holds up the whole job.
Pole Replacement, Communications TransferElevation, Not to Scale
1. New Pole
Power on the new pole. Communications still on the old one.
Sequence
New Pole
The new pole is set and power has moved. The old pole stays in the air for one reason: the communications plant still on it.
Transfer
Strand, facility and attachment hardware moved to the new pole, along with service drops, multiport tails, terminals, risers and drop transition boxes.
Ground
Grounding connections transferred and bonded to the vertical ground on the new pole.
Clear
Span re-tensioned where the move changed the sag. Pole tagged and documented. The old pole is free to come out.
Communications off the old pole, so it comes out on schedule.
Scope
- Strand, facility and attachment hardware transferred from old pole to new
- Existing attachments rearranged to create compliant clearance
- Grounding connections and bonding transferred to vertical grounds
- Span re-tension where the transfer changes sag
- Service drop and multiport tail transfers
- Terminals, risers and drop transition boxes
- Pole tagging and field documentation on completion

NESC Compliance
Every item on a pole owner’s audit is a measurement. Each one is checked at the pole and at midspan, brought back into compliance, and closed out as a completed work order.
Clearance at the Pole and MidspanElevation, Not to Scale
1. Found
Attachment measured 24 in below the neutral.
Sequence
Found
Every condition is measured at the pole and at midspan before anything moves.
Corrected
The attachment is lowered into compliance and the change is recorded: what was found and what was done.
Attachers
Vertical separation between communications attachers checked and restored at the pole.
Ground
Midspan clearance over roadways, driveways and crossings, corrected by re-sag or re-attachment.
Every correction leaves a record: what was found, and what was done about it.
Scope
- Clearance violations between communications and supply space
- Vertical separation between communications attachers
- Midspan clearance over roadways, driveways and crossings
- Ground clearance correction by re-sag or re-attachment
- Grounding and bonding deficiencies
- Guying and anchoring where pole loading is out of spec
- Documentation of conditions found and corrections made

Fiber and Strand Placing
New aerial plant built the way the print calls for it, span by span.
New Aerial Build, Typical SpanElevation, Not to Scale
Existing Span
Existing plant on the pole, ready for the new strand.
Sequence
Strand
6M, 10M or 16M messenger placed with pole attachment hardware, bonded to the vertical ground and adjacent messenger.
Lash
Fiber and coax double lashed. Overlash where the strand is already occupied; delash and relash where existing plant needs it.
Slack
Slack racked between a pair of snowshoes out along the span from the splice case, placed to spec. Span tensioned and sagged to specification.
Guy & Riser
Down guy and anchor set where the pole needs it. Riser and U-guard for the underground-to-aerial transition.
Tensioned, lashed and stored the way the specification reads.
Scope
- Strand placement: 6M, 10M, 16M messenger
- Pole attachment hardware, bonding to vertical grounds and adjacent messenger
- Double lashing of fiber and coax
- Overlash of additional facilities to occupied strand
- Delash and relash of existing plant
- Slack storage: snowshoes and coils placed to spec
- Span tensioning and sag to specification
- Guying and anchoring
- Riser and U-guard for underground-to-aerial transition
- Service drops, pole to premises
